Question

Describe the journey of magellan that proved that the earth was round

Answer 1

One sure way to prove that the Earth is round is to get into a ship and go around until you get back to your starting point. That was the way in which Ferdinand Magellan and Sebastian Elcano proved nearly 450 years ago that the Earth was round. They started from Spain on September 20, 1519 and sailed toward the west. Three years later, on September 8, 1522 one of their ships reached Spain again, coming from the east. Four of their little sailing vessels had been wreaked and Magellan himself had been killed (on the coast of Philippines) during the long and dangerous journey. Since then many people have traveled by land and sea all the way around the globe, and since the dawn of the air travel a number of them have circumnavigated the Earth in airplanes.

Answer 2
